We recently finished a trip to MT, ID, UT, CO and back to SD in our 2003 B+ Trail-Lite with Ford V10. Mileage was from 10-14 mpg depending on the wind, mountains and speed (60-65 works well). Convection oven is a must; refrigerator seems to be working, lost the spare tire first time out (no help from R-vision).
Drives great, but constantly having problems with doors, valances, and other internal decor. The slide out is manual (big mistake) in such a small camper you want space all the time, cranking is a pain (3/4 in. drill will work), slide is not smooth, and leaks when out in the rain. Currently having problems with Onan generator, but that is an Onan problem with gas/carburetor varnishing.
If we were doing it over we would get the same Chassis, length but find a manufacturer that pays attention to details. If buying a Trail Lite use a dealer close to your house for ease of maintenance.
